Chapter 77 Safe Zone 1 (8) - Practice Tracking Techniques
Ning Shu arrived at the training camp on time in the afternoon, waiting for Ying Zhinian to appear.
Upon seeing the person appear, Ning Shu pulled Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi forward to greet Ying Zhinian: "Coach, good afternoon!"
Ying Zhinian looked at the two tall men behind her: "..."
Ning Shu knew what the other person was thinking, so she quickly explained, "It's like this, these two are my teammates, and they also want to study together, is that okay?"
Ying Zhinian chuckled inwardly. "You've brought him right to me, how could I possibly refuse?"
He ignored Ning Shu and said before turning around, "Come here."
Ning Shu knew that he had agreed, so she told Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi to hurry up and follow.
The three followed them into a very small room with a small blackboard, a large table, and several chairs, which looked like a conference room.
Ning Shu felt that the environment outside the dungeon had been greatly improved by the players, and the conditions were quite good.
Ying Zhinian told them to find seats wherever they wanted, then fiddled with the small blackboard for a bit before starting his lesson.
“Following others is a skill that is easy to learn but difficult to master,” Ying Zhinian said.
"Let's start with the theoretical knowledge. First, you need to memorize the other person's characteristics, especially in crowded places. If you are not familiar with the characteristics, it is easy to lose them."
Secondly, tracking requires extremely strong psychological qualities. When you are spotted by the target, you must remain calm and not panic.
Third, stay vigilant, especially when the other party suddenly changes direction or enters a building. Immediately check for back doors or secret passages to prevent losing track of your target.
However, I personally think that at this point, it's best to first determine if you've been exposed, save your life, and stop stalking.
Fourth, if the other party tries to escape, unless you have a large number of people and are certain that you can defeat them, it is not recommended to continue tracking them.
Because the other side will most likely lure you to their lair and wipe you out in one fell swoop.
Fifth, if it is a long-term tracking operation, prepare some dry food and water in case you go hungry.
Finally, regardless of whether the surveillance is long-term or short-term, it's essential to prepare simple disguise or makeup tools in case of need.
While he was speaking, Ning Shu and the other two opened the game panel, found the "notes" function, and started recording what Ying Zhinian said, just like primary school students taking notes diligently.
Ying Zhinian continued: "If it is a team, it is more advantageous to track them. I suggest that each person follow the target person for a while."
When there are not enough people, those who have been tracking before must disguise themselves appropriately when they need to track again.
At least change your clothes and hairstyle, otherwise it'll look obviously fake.
At this point, Ying Zhinian looked at Cheng Chuan and said, "Also, when you're tailing someone, it's best to choose someone with an ordinary appearance, someone who looks like a passerby. Someone like you wouldn't qualify."
This is a disguised way of praising Cheng Chuan's good looks.
Ning Shu and Wu Yi both looked at Cheng Chuan, who remained calm as if the topic wasn't about him.
Ning Shu was fine, after all, she had a clear understanding of herself—she wasn't a beauty.
Wu Yi was unhappy and leaned closer to Ning Shu, whispering, "Class is class, why are you making personal attacks?"
You know, Wu Yi considers himself to be pretty good-looking. Although he's not as handsome as Cheng Chuan, he's still considered a handsome guy among his friends.
He can't stand being told he's "plain-looking" or "just an ordinary person."
Ning Shu looked at Wu Yi speechlessly: Ha, men's damn competitive spirit.
"That's not the point, pay attention in class," Ning Shu replied in a low voice.
Wu Yi accused Ning Jie: "Sister Ning, you're being unfair!"
Ning Shu ignored him.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, so Ying Zhinian assigned them the task of following him for the next few days.
The requirements are: first, you cannot be discovered by him; second, you must name a few places he has visited in the past few days.
Therefore, in the next few days, Ning Shu would start tracking Ying Zhinian in the afternoon after finishing his morning training.
After Ying Zhinian caught them in the act, he explained the problems to them and how to improve. The days passed in this way, filled with training and learning.
Nearly a month later, Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan discussed it and decided to go and run some dungeons in a few days.
They learned from their previous experience and realized they couldn't wait until they ran out of points before farming dungeons; they had to leave themselves some leeway.
That day, Ning Shu had just finished training, taken a shower, and bought a set meal. He planned to eat and then wait for Cheng Chuan and the others to arrive before going back to his residence for a midday nap.
After waiting and waiting, no one showed up, so Ning Shu sent a message in the group to ask.
[The burly man who doesn't wash his feet: Cheng Chuan, Wu Yi, are you guys going back? If not, I'm leaving.]
After a while, they replied to the message.
[One city after another: I have other things to do, I won't be going back.]
[The proud little princess: Sister Ning, I'm going back. Wait for me a moment, I'll come find you. Are we still at the usual spot?]
[The strong man doesn't wash his feet: Right, hurry up.]
[The proud little princess: Okay, wait for me.]
After Wu Yi arrived, Ning Shu walked side by side with him towards their lodgings.
Wu Yi asked curiously, "Sister Ning, when did you become nearsighted? I've noticed you've been wearing glasses these past few days."
Ning Shu sighed: "The props are still figuring out how to use them. The instruction manual that Sister Meng recommended is too expensive, so I can't bring myself to buy it."
We're about to enter the dungeon, aren't we? I've been taking it out these past few days to figure out how to use it, so I've been wearing it the whole time.
Wu Yi suddenly realized, and Ning Shu remembered something: "By the way, what item did you choose for the 'Reversal Middle School' instance?"
Actually, items are a sensitive topic for players. Normally, she shouldn't ask about them, but they're so familiar with each other, so she was just curious.
Wu Yi didn't answer. Instead, he summoned the panel, materialized the item, and handed it to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu had a bad feeling when she saw him take out that familiar little test tube, and she was even more speechless when she held it in her hand.
"You chose ink? Why did you choose that?" She didn't understand, and she couldn't respect it at all!
When it was Wu Yi's turn to sigh, he said, "What can I do? Of the three options, this is the one I think is acceptable."
What other options are there?
Wu Yi complained, "A pen and an exam paper? I don't like studying, so why would I use a pen? And the exam paper is even more ridiculous."
Ning Shu didn't think the exam paper option was necessarily outrageous. Fountain pens and ink can't be used alone, but exam papers should be usable on their own, and maybe they have some hidden function.
Unfortunately, Wu Yi wasn't chosen, so this question remains unanswered.
"So what's your reason for choosing ink?"
"It saves space. Look how small it is, isn't it easy to store?"
This line of thinking... seems familiar.
Ning Shu tentatively asked, "Then you know that Cheng Chuan chose..."
Suddenly, everything went black before her eyes, then brightened again, and she heard the system notification sound.
Welcome to the "Desert Trail" non-fixed instance.
[Mission: Find the specified object and place it in the designated location.]
[Customs clearance time: 30 days.]
[Initial supplies: Survival supply pack.]
We wish you a pleasant gaming experience!
